Greek Salad Dressing Recipe and Crochet Ladybug

We’ve prepared a simple Greek salad dressing that is stored in a mason jar and wrapped it with a crochet ladybug cozy!

This is a fun and delicious treat for summer and a cute way to spruce up salad dressings at your next summer BBQ or potluck.

Let’s start with the recipe because the seasonings need time to blend.

Greek Salad Dressing Recipe

Greek salad dressing is super easy to make. This recipe does not need to be refrigerated since it’s an oil and vinegar based dressing.

Below you’ll see that we used several different types of vinegar. You can use whatever you have on hand (like a white vinegar or red wine vinegar). Also, this recipe has a ratio of 50% oil to 50% vinegar. If you want to tone down the vinegar flavor, use a little less of it or add a little extra sugar.

Greek Salad Dressing Ingredients:

Step One

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup white wine vine vinegar

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

1 1/2 teaspoons dijon Mustard

1 small clove fresh garlic

2 teaspoon agave nectar (or 1 t sugar)

pinch of crushed red pepper

Step Two

3/4 cup virgin olive oil

Step Three

2 teaspoons oregano

2 teaspoons basil

Directions:

Place all ingredients from Step One into blender. Blend on medium speed until well blended.

With blender still on medium, slowly add oil. This will emulsify the oil and vinegar and keep them from separating.

Stop blender. Add herbs from Step Three. Pulse until just blended.

Store in mason jar. Do not refrigerate. Best if allowed to marinate several hours (or overnight) before using.
